This is the advertisement inserted in another local newspaper, Yaeyama News (Yaeyama shinpō) of August 21, 1924.
It promotes a new cold remedy and new medicine for stomach troubles.
It says that these medicines are available not only at the selling agency in Taipei, but also in the retail shop in Ishigaki Island.
It was not unusual that a variety of new goods and products were introduced by selling agencies in colonial Taipei, and sold by their branches and retail shops in Ishigaki Island.
